kallend 2,151 #1 May 28, 2002 It is well known that there is a causal relationship between the existence of _ANY_ wife in the universe and men being wrong for all time, "all time" being in the context of the Standard Model. (We cannot actuallybe sure before the beginning of the universe if "wife" existed, cf. "A Brief History of Time" by Steven Hawking.) This is colloquially described as the "If a man is alone in a forest and his wife is not there to hear what he says, is he necessarily wrong?" effect.A colleague and I have finally developed the theory that lays a sound theoretical background for this effect. Unfortunately it requires a little physics/math background.A guy's "being wrong" due to the existence of a wife in the universe is, in fact, an eigenstate of the system. It is not just that there is a _probability_ that a guy is wrong; he is, in fact, just plainwrong. You can see this immediately if you look at the so-called"Matrimonial Operator", and it is interesting to note that is the Matrimonial, rather than the Patrimonial, operator.The Matrimonial Operator is a good example of an annihilation operator:|M(t)|guy> -> 0.Since M(t), the time-dependent Matrimonial Operator is Hermitian, it canbe written as a sum of steady-state step-down, or "put-down", operators,usually denoted M-. M- can describe any wife.For any given moment (t) we can solve the equation:||^2 = [constant] x wrong(Note that the square of the absolute value on the left-hand side assures that a married man is really, absolutely wrong for any value of t since the beginning of the universe, regardless of the choice of M-)And that's the way it is!JK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChromeBoy 0 #4 May 28, 2002 All of that is too technical. Let's just leave it at if you are married you get the same boobies every night and if your not you can have multiple boobies in your lifetime. As Eddie Murphy once said..."even if you are eating Ritz Crackers and they are the best after awhile you get tired of them and Ritz doesn't appeal to you anymore. That's when you go out and do a taste test and you find out that saltines are your new favorite." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
